摘要

A key element of early modern philosophers’ response to the rise of the new science was to move from thinking of appearance in terms of its resemblance to reality to thinking of it in terms of its representation of reality. Kant took a further step away from the original perceptual paradigm of the appearance/reality distinction by focusing on specifically conceptual appearances. Kant was a conceptual phenomenalist rather than a conceptual realist, in seeing conceptual structure only on the side of representings. An isomorphism between a minimal bilateral pragmatics of assertion/denial and giving reasons for/against and a truthmaker semantics articulates a contemporary form of conceptual realism.
